The Minster Junior School

School overview

The Minster Junior School is a primary school serving Croydon, Croydon, classified by the DfE as an academy converter with a Church of England religious character. It has 339 pupils aged 7 to 11 on roll. 70% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 14.0 percentage points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 32% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 10% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 40% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. The Minster Junior School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links further down the page.
